For a good read, check out | Reining in the Rio Grande | — a hydrologist from my alma mater and a water rights lawyer from UNM coauthored a comprehensive treatment of humans' relationship with this former river.
Zombie Edward Abbey would be so pleased if Glen Canyon came down. Too bad he didn't live to see the Colorado Delta reawaken in the Sea of Cortez, or the dam removal that Oregon and Washington have done.
ABQ hasn't demolished urban freeways, quite the opposite in fact. But they incorporate vestiges of the natural arroyos that they replaced, as seen in this here interactive arroyo map: https://206.25.254.11/ (don't mind the security certificate warning — what could possibly go wrong from connecting to an insecure website?)
Whew, not the user-friendliest GIS interface ever. Mostly I see that every drop of stormwater and (one hopes) treated sewage finds its way to the river, as God intended.
San Diego dumped raw sewage into San Diego Bay until WW II, when they Navy said, "Dude, we gotta live here. How 'bout we build you a nice STP for free?" And that's the one we're using today, EPA be damned. Just make the pipe out into the ocean a little longer.
Dern. What does one get Elephant Butt for it's birthday?
Water?
A new marina slip?

Hey, they tore down the |Embarcadero Freeway| and there's talk of taking down Glen Canyon Dam, so maybe we can have some of the real world back.

Abbey's one of my [heroes.]
Sis reply to "Did you do anything for the Dam Birthday?"
NOOOOOOOOO
Give the RV toilet an extra flush.
I told them I moved to ALB. Gave 'em your address.
“It is an amazing feeling to just think about 100 years and this place is still just rocking and rolling,” Higgins mused.
Not the metaphor I would have chosen.
Oh, they're just micro-faults. They can't do any real damage.
They add character, like fine antique furniture.
Thanks, fast service, will patronize again.
I've got one stuck in the tubes somewhere…
Lemon juice.
You mean dunk it?
Hadn't thought of that.
Maybe offer a new miracle cure and get it on those taboola 'One simple trick ' links.
Fiber.
